I skied Corbet's Couloir twice, in 1998 and in 2002. Both times, I found the most difficult part is the entry. Side slip to YOUR RIGHT and JUMP TURN nearly 180 degrees again to your right and LEAN WAY OVER YOU SKIS!! Don't hesitate when you start, these two move should happen in about 3-4 seconds! Once you are down the chute, GO STRAIGHT until you are clear of the rocks before attempting your first turn!! Now in my 60's with 35+ years skiing under my belt, I am not sure I would attempt it again!
MAD respects to the snowboarder who wasn’t event a part of the event ! To go down Courbet , toe side to retrieve someone else’s gear …. is just whoah 🙌🏽
This isn't an event, it's just a busy day with regular people on a run open to the public. There is a professional event closed to the public done once a year on corbet's, this is definitely not that.
It looked like he had it together in the air but then he broke out of his tuck and extended his legs, as if he thought he was about to land when in fact he had another 5 - 10 feet to go....It didn't look like the hard pack caused his fall. It clearly exacerbated it though...
The jump turn seems like the best way to go if the shaping of the entrance allows, but you have to have your jump turn skills down before you attempt. Gotta work on those next season
I lived in Teton Village for 3 years in the early 70's and am 70 yrs old now. I skied (with my roommate) Corbetts 14 times in those years. My roommate skied it over 20 times ! The path that gets results is the least intuitive. We used to call this run "Sucker Punch" because it fools you and then you pay. The absolute best line is straight at the rock wall on the LEFT. Go right at it (obviously don't hit it !!) Then a hard right turn followed by a left and you are all set. Don't sideslip in to Corbetts. Everyone does it and a ledge forms. That's a mess and a yard sale waiting to happen.
Seems smart to start on the left side (opposite everyone in video), head towards the right, then steep quick turn to the left before this ledge they're all creating.
@@lering6658 @lering Agree with you, but partially - Yes, ski will fall off from binder but not just due to jump / land. I think person on this video when landing, he falls back, then binder opens - this is intended to do so. I still think it was not adjusted on Advance setting, as from jump & land it should not came off that "easy"... ⛷️✌️
For sure a pair of binders with at least din 13 it helps, but here the problem seems his posture wile landing; his hands goes back and he put his weight on the tails of the skies. If the guy were on high din setting he probably would have broken something on his knees.
At 0:08, Corbet's "Conloir??" Someone doesn't know what a couloir is, but the above is far more than just running a gully on this mountain, he takes this to a whole different level, nicely done! I wonder what ski instructor Corbet of Jackson Hole thinks of this run! I used to ski a lot but have never snowboarded, too old do the kind of run in this video now! Amazing!
Eeesh! That dude dropping in at 2:41 eats it and slides head first 150ft before stopping *right before* the rocks AND his bindings didn’t even release. Dude, check that DIN
I would potentially argue that his skis not releasing is fine there because he immediately gets up. The din theoretically should be set to the highest number where the force needed to have the skis come off is the the just below the force needed to break bones/tendons/ligaments. The fact that he immediately got up indicates that he likely didn’t break/tear anything so his bindings are set correctly. This is the reason why conditioning isn’t important when youre and advanced/expert skier. The nature of certain runs and chutes requires a higher din setting so you need to be strong enough to handle that.
Personally I'd try a traverse to the left then a jump turn then a sideslip to a traverse back in. Seems like a guarantee option assuming more snow is there. And by jump turn I mean like the ones used in backcountry not this video. You start perpendicular to the hill, go down, jump up, land. Without moving much downhill. Like a 180. If there was a bit more snow in the left but the middle also would have worked for this method.
Yeah I was thinking the same..but I think it would be tough to pull the move you’re talking about there, needs to be one smooth turn in back to the right before you slam into the rocks
Too steep to get a decent pole plant. Almost every one of these example enters incorrectly. They lean back (fear) which guarantees they can’t make the proper turns below or handle the very fast increase in speed. I don’t do that goat path entrance; better to go straight in (more or less) with anticipation of hitting a high speed. Didn’t do it this year, but usually do it once or twice per season.
Mmmm. I think it just presents a different approach as your feet are tied to the same plane. You can't lean as easily into the entrance for stability like you can on skis. I would bet the entrance on a board is still similar to those @1:08. Come in more straight on and hammer down on a jump turn to get your edges engaged on the break to the right.
Because its an official run and in-bounds in the ski area. Its hard but not impossible for alot of people. Its dangerous but not too dangerous. Its fun for people who want to push themselves a little.

Ski patrol making it look easy
That’s what they do
Take a good hard look at how the patrollers enters the chute. They do two things that no one else is doing that makes it so much easier.
Because it is relatively easy lol…people make it look much worse than it is, many jump when they really shouldn’t etc.
The hold their poles half mast so they can lower their center of gravity. Also use the wall itself to their advantage.
@@thomasbennett9155 is that common on steep drops to hold poled mid way?

Watching this brings back great memories of Jackson Hole. Never had the nerve to drop into Corbet's, lol!
That guy at 10sec just launching it on hard pack snow....crazy! He felt that for DAYS after!!
Yeah, that's what you call: a bad plan. Marks for balls, but not for brains.
Must have been injured - very lucky if he got away without a nasty one.

you can't just drop into corbet's and tell your friends you did it. you gotta send it, like that dude. go big or go home, that's what i always say.
@@Gary-np7hl yiles! 😬
Legend has it that first guy is still sliding
The jump turn seems like the best way to go if the shaping of the entrance allows, but you have to have your jump turn skills down before you attempt. Gotta work on those next season
It seems unreliable at best if you are no pro. The slide in my look uncool but you can control the drop in with a fall

That first dude is a legend.
The famous and automatic american "ouuuuuh" every single time someone succeed in jumping off the cliff 😂😂
Looks like it's slightly easier when there's more snow pack.
Jack Skiing 0:25. Thanks for posting the video.
Seems smart to start on the left side (opposite everyone in video), head towards the right, then steep quick turn to the left before this ledge they're all creating.
I'd either have the perfect run, or the most embarrassing yard sale ever. No in between.
Not me Jose that one guy got thrown thru that gullet like a rag doll.
If you skid your way 12 feet down, then fall while making a jump turn, did you really “ski Corbett’s”?
yes.
You can still say you did it.
kings and queens Aldi's edition
You MUST make sure the binders are adjusted accordingly when performing this type of jumps. Guess why skis are falling off? Be safe ✌
from my experience skis fall off easier than you think, you could fall hard enough and just like that they fall off, happened to me before.

Gotta crank up the din

Honesty the second kid aced it
Like the 1st👍 just drop in👍
Why nobody is coming from the left in a straight line? Or coming from the right, but sliding to the left side cliff much more?
Man, I hear them knees poppin'.
excelent video
If I were to try this, I’d do it like the second skier, that looked like a kid. I’m fairly sure I could do it that way, but I’m too old to risk it!
first guy fucked it up due to lack of red bull stickers

I like the point method, but only if it was soft.
@@jameshinton429 ofc conditions are king
Man. but is there any snowboarder drop in good way? i havent seen it
can you drop in from the top (where the camera was most of the time)
That’s what I’m saying. It would need to be soft, and you’d have to be super accurate.
Yes, well not me, but other people lol
The camera doesn't do justice to the steepness of the drop in. It's scary steep!
Yeah, the lens distortion makes it look like a blue run!
Well....if that little kid can do it !!! I know I sure the hell......can't.
Looked at this every day, backing away from the sheer drop, for 100 days straight, before finally going in. The first turn is everything!
25+ ft drop.
Curious, why do they choke up on their poles?
Too steep to get a decent pole plant. Almost every one of these example enters incorrectly. They lean back (fear) which guarantees they can’t make the proper turns below or handle the very fast increase in speed.

Класс)
I’d wait for the right snow and point it….but I’m 47
One turn to the right, thats it. No big deal if you are experienced...
i feel like it's way steeper than videos can make it look
单板轻松?都是用尾椎+板刃刮下去的屁滑滑法
First guy should have thrown a double back, way easier to land
Ok but what about people who snowboard goofy?
Well. You go down the toe side I guess? 😅
be easier for goofy footers
nothing special - except first 3-5 meters 😅
No FUCKING Way!
Waiting for snowborders😂😂
All this risk for just one jump and regular skiing afterwards.
Its a right of passage, like Tuckerman's ravine on the East. Although it's a lot cooler if they drop in Kings and Queens style.
Its not as much risk as it seems.
@@j0ndav1s *Tuckerman
snowbaord 竟然都可以简单粗暴的坐下去
so really the only hard part is the drop in
掉板了就屁滑下山呗😂
Y brother?
Half these guys are strong intermediates at best. Snow is nice, getting edge is not a problem. What’s the big deal here?
None at all, from behind the speculative safety of your keyboard.
I would’ve enjoyed it more of the people on the top watching would stop screaming
almost all skiiers think theyre better than they really are
Seems almost impossible on a snowboard
Mmmm. I think it just presents a different approach as your feet are tied to the same plane. You can't lean as easily into the entrance for stability like you can on skis. I would bet the entrance on a board is still similar to those @1:08. Come in more straight on and hammer down on a jump turn to get your edges engaged on the break to the right.
Mostly not fun, mostly ego
if theres one lesson i learned from this its that snowboarders are cool
What, they all just sat down on their ass and sideslipped the whole thing, lpl
just quit
Not sure what’s the obsession with this stupid drop. U know there’s a another sport called climbing? Perhaps they should try.
Because its an official run and in-bounds in the ski area. Its hard but not impossible for alot of people. Its dangerous but not too dangerous.
